Important!
Before your child starts school, please ensure that both your social visit pass and your child's are still valid.
If your pass has already expired or if you are currently overstaying in Malaysia, it is advisable for you to address this matter directly with Immigration before your child begins school to avoid potential complications or problems.
If your spouse holds an employment pass, MM2H, or any other passes issued in Malaysia, we strongly recommend consulting your agent or the person responsible for handling MM2H/employment passes to verify the eligibility of both you and your child for dependent passes. In the event that you and your child are not eligible for a dependent pass under your spouse's pass, we kindly request that you proceed with the application for a student and guardian pass.
Before submitting your documents to the school, please thoroughly review them. Once the application is submitted to immigration, regardless of the approval outcome, you will be responsible for paying the applicable service charge and immigration fee. Please carefully consider these factors before proceeding with the pass application process.
